Answer:

£53.40

Explanation:

The shop has an offer where you:

buy 1 T-shirt and get 1 free

buy 3 jumpers and get 2 free

This means if a person pays for 1 T-shirt, he/she gets two and if he/she pays for 3 jumpers, he/she gets 5.

Therefore, to buy 4 T-shirt, you have to pay for 2 and to buy 5 jumpers, you have to pay for 3.

1 T- shirt costs £4.80, therefore, 2 will cost:

2 * 4.80 = £9.60

1 jumper costs £14.60, therefore, 3 will cost:

3 * 14.60 = £43.80

Therefore, the customer will sped a total of:

43.80 + 9.60 = £53.40

The customer will pay £53.40 to get 5 jumpers and 4 T-shirts using this offer.
